November 29, 2008 - Nutcracker Opening Night




A very proud moment for me as I watched my daughter, Journey grace the stage of Ballet West's The Nutcracker, For the first time in six years, the mention of dance didn't send a dreadful feeling up my spine and into the usual mind numbing headache. Tonight there was no drama, no competition between dance moms and my daughter wasn't wearing enough makeup to paint the house several times over. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire production. The symphony, the sets, the vivid costumes and characters were all incredible. I have never been to the ballet in my life and probably never would have had it not been for Journey's role in it all. We were happy to have friends and family there who enjoyed it just as much as we did. - Daddy
